[NTG-context] No output for no apparent reason

Hello, ConTeXt people-- I am coming back to ConTeXt after a long absence (for about the 3rd or 4th time - maybe if I just stuck with it I wouldn't keep having these problems, eh?). I have a new installation of the standalone ConTeXt package on an Arch Linux system. I obtained the 'first-setup.sh'

Re: [NTG-context] Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)

Thank you for that, Idris. I had tried those earlier, but both of them gave me not digits but the Arabic equivalents of roman numerals — letters, used in the Arabic language, to denote enumeration (as you know). In fact, I have now settled on using those for my front matter in the Arabic critica

Never mind. After more word combinations when searching the archives, I came across Wolfgang’s answer here: gmane.comp.tex.context/85673 , in which he says to use the \defineconversion command. E.g.: \defineconversion [myconversion] [۱,

[NTG-context] Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)

Dear all, When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called “mashriqi”, or “Ar

Thank you very much for this, Idris. What with the other bugs and problems I’ve faced with R2L (in footnotes, etc.), I was starting to wonder whether a more explicit, rather than global, use of RTL might be a better approach. I’m going to experiment with them, at least to learn how to use them w

Apologies: While the problem remains, I realise now that using "method=one" or "method=two" wasn’t having any effect because I had forgotten to add the option "align=righttoleft,” to "\setupnotations[lnote]”. Having done so, adding the method options do have an effect. But the output is still fl

Thank you, Pablo, for bringing method=two to my attention. I’ve read what has been written about in on the mailing list. However, in my case, it does not solve the problem. On the document I’ve attached: - using method=default produces the error I raised yesterday; - using method=one (or method=t
